OMIA group 1106

Axonopathy

The chain reaches the human disease Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, axonal, autosomal recessive, type 2a2b;, which Mondo defines as: “An autosomal recessive sub-type of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease caused by compound heterozygous or homozygous mutation(s) in the MFN2 gene, encoding mitofusin-2. This condition is more severe and has an earlier onset as compared to Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A2A.” It reaches 2 more human diseases, listed below.

The chain

From the animal disease to the drugs. The page shows what each step found and where the chain stopped. It does not say whether the animal is a model of a human disease.

  1. Animal disease

    Reached

    OMIA records it in 1 species entry marked as a defect.

  2. Human disease

    Reached

    3 Mondo diseases.

  3. Human gene

    Reached

    1 human gene.

  4. Target evidence

    Reached

    3 Open Targets associations, with a best score of 0.85.

  5. Drugs

    Stopped here

    No ChEMBL drug acts on a human gene of the group's target evidence.

The chain stopped at Drugs: No ChEMBL drug acts on a human gene of the group's target evidence.

Natural-model score

How complete and how well supported the chain to each human disease is, out of 100, by stated rules. It does not say that the animal is a validated model of the human disease. How the score works.

Species

The chain follows only the species entries that OMIA marks as a defect.

Species Scientific name OMIA entry A defect
domestic cattle Bos taurus OMIA:001106-9913 Yes

Genes

Each gene OMIA records for a species entry, and the human gene it reaches through Ensembl's orthologs.

Human diseases

Two routes lead from an OMIA group to a Mondo human disease: OMIA's own Mondo link, and the group's OMIM numbers through Mondo's cross-references.

Mondo disease Name Found by
MONDO:0014906 Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, axonal, autosomal recessive, type 2a2b; An autosomal recessive sub-type of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease caused by compound heterozygous or homozygous mutation(s) in the MFN2 gene, encoding mitofusin-2. This condition is more severe and has an earlier onset as compared to Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A2A. OMIA's OMIM numbers
MONDO:0012231 Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A2 Autosomal dominant Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A2 (CMT2A2) is a subtype of Autosomal dominant Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2 characterized by the childhood onset of distal weakness and areflexia (with earlier and more severe involvement of the lower extremities), reduced sensory modalities (primarily pain and temperature sensation), foot deformities, postural tremor, scoliosis and contractures. Optic atrophy, vocal cord palsy with dysphonia, sensorineural hearing loss, spinal cord abnormalities and hydrocephalus have also been reported. OMIA's OMIM numbers
MONDO:0011002 neuropathy, hereditary motor and sensory, type 6A Any hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy type 6 in which the cause of the disease is a mutation in the MFN2 gene. OMIA's OMIM numbers

Target evidence

Each Open Targets association between one of the group's human genes and one of its human diseases, with its overall score and the score for each kind of evidence.
